BRIDGEPORT -- A man was shot several times late Friday as he was leaving his girlfriend's apartment at the Greene Homes complex and died a short time later.

Taurus Williams, 37, was found in a fifth-floor hallway in Building 3 at the Highland Avenue complex and died shortly after arriving at St. Vincent's Medical Center, becoming the city's 22nd homicide of 2012.

A police source said that Williams' girlfriend heard the gunshots at 11:35 p.m. and opened her door to find the victim mortally wounded.

Police did not provide an address for Williams, but a database search indicates that he lived at 456 Wood Ave.

Silvia Martinez, who lives in another apartment at that address, said that she didn't know Williams.

Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact Sergeant Vincent Verillo at 203-581-5219.
